LIMIT STRAP BUNGEE MOUNTS
It’s often said that the last 10% takes 90% of the time, and that’s no joke. Taking the easy way out, or the quick way…might work for some, but not for those wanting to produce the best. A bungee cord and some zip-ties is usually the quick and easy method to retain limit straps from both sides of an axle. '“If it works, why bother fixing it?”…why not?
I cut up some small tabs and added a center slot for some extra design and weight reduction. Granted, it’s a smaller part, but I again figured ‘why not’.
I got some smaller tabs welded up with corresponding 1/4'“ holes to utilize a nut and bolt setup to retain the limit strap bungee within. And with some sides added to help in retaining the limit straps when multiple straps are used we were ready for paint.
With everything all dried up and after double checking fitment of the stainless hardware, everything checked out and things were ready to be installed.
I started to ‘run’ with this idea when I was weighing out my options in retaining the limit straps on both corners. I didn’t want to run a single bungee from both corners as it would not only be a potential bind up at full bump, but it was also be an eye sore. With the rear accessory tray, pan hard bar, breather lines, brake lines - it all started to add up and would ultimately be visually jarring.
Being able to retain both set of straps independently would not only look best, but would allow me to mount the opposite end of the bungee higher up and be less visible. After drilling out some holes and installing some riv-nuts, hardware was added and everything worked out perfect.
I’m still toying with the idea of the 2 zip ties pictured with the heads opposing one another, or the use of one larger zip tie with only the one being used.
